EUR/USD Price Forecast: Steadies below 1.1800 near seven-week highs

  • EUR/USD may retest the seven-week high of 1.1811.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index near 64 indicates solid positive momentum.
  • The immediate support lies at the nine-day EMA at 1.1702.

EUR/USD remains calm after halting its seven-day winning streak, trading around 1.1790 during the Asian hours on Wednesday. The daily chart technical analysis indicates a bullish bias, as the pair is moving upwards within an ascending channel.

The EUR/USD pair maintains a bullish near-term bias as spot holds above both the nine-day and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). The pair is pressing higher with the 14-day Relative Strength Index hovering near 64, suggesting firm positive momentum but edging towards overbought territory as price approaches nearby overhead levels.

On the upside, the EUR/USD pair may retest its immediate barrier at the seven-week high of 1.1811, reached on April 14, followed by the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 1.1830. A sustained break above this confluence resistance zone would lead the pair to explore the region around 1.2082, the highest since June 2021, reached on January 27.

The EUR/USD pair may find the initial support at the nine-day EMA of 1.1702, followed by the nine-day EMA of 1.1655 and the lower ascending channel boundary around 1.1630. Further declines below the channel would expose the eight-month low of 1.1411, recorded on March 13.

AUD/USD meets support near 0.7150

AUD/USD comes under renewed and quite strong selling pressure ahead of the Asia opening bell on Friday, drifting back toward multi-day troughs near 0.7150, where it seems to have met some decent contention for now. The Aussie’s decline follows the inflation-reignited uptick in the Greenback in response to robust US factory-gate prices in August.


USD/JPY consolidates around 153.50 as bears turn cautious ahead of US inflation

USD/JPY stabilizes above 153.50 during the Asian session on Thursday, but remains near a seven-month low set earlier this week as hawkish BoJ repricing continues to underpin the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, rising September Fed rate-hike bets and escalating US-Iran tensions help ease US Dollar selling pressure, offering some support to the currency pair ahead of US inflation figures.

Gold remains weak, retargets $4,350

Gold keeps the choppy price action on Thursday, now slipping back toward the $4,350 region per troy ounce amid the robust bounce in the US Dollar as well as rising US Treasury yields across the curve, particularly following US Producer Prices and ahead of Friday’s more relevant US CPI data.

Bitcoin and Gold Outlook: BTC and XAU drop as US PPI broadens rate-hike bets
Cryptocurrency prices are broadly correcting, led by Bitcoin (BTC), which is trading around $77,000 on Thursday, marking four consecutive days of declines. Meanwhile, Gold (XAU) remains sideways, hovering around $4,365, with upside capped below $4,400.
ECB recap: A hawkish hike despite downside growth risks
The European Central Bank (ECB) increased the Deposit Facility Rate to 2.50%, the Refinancing Rate to 2.65% and the Marginal Lending Facility to 2.90%, effective from September 16. The decision was accompanied by a clear warning that the outlook remains highly uncertain, with risks tilted to the upside for inflation and to the downside for growth.
Venezuela’s 65-billion-barrel Oil deal could reshape America’s inflation fight
The United States (US) has secured unprecedented access to part of Venezuela’s vast Oil reserves. The timing is particularly significant as the war with Iran is disrupting Middle Eastern supplies, keeping energy prices elevated and reviving concerns about inflation.
